Abstract

A research investigation was conducted to find out the efficacy of the Singapore mathematics approach in aiding the modular print distance learning modality. This study was a quasi-experimental research design using two groups of participants, the Singapore math group and the traditional group. The group was fairly the same with both groups having the same number of participants and the grades of the students were fairly equal. Each group consisted of 42 participants, for a total of 84 participants. The participants were given a pretest to measure their prior knowledge. The result showed that the Singapore Math learning approaches positively affected the learning of the learners in mathematics. In addition, the use of the Singapore Mathematics approach was significantly better than the traditional approach in teaching solving word problems among the learners it has a significant improvement in the knowledge and application skills of the learners was clearly manifested in the Singapore Math approach compared to the Traditional approach of teaching. Further, the use of the Singapore Mathematics Approach was significantly better than the Traditional Approach in teaching solving word problems among the learners. Hence, the use of the Singapore Math Approach should be encouraged as an alternative to teaching solving word problems inside the classroom.

Abstract

Multicultural learning is a strategy for creating a learning environment and designing a learning experience that integrates culture as part of the learning process. In multicultural learning, culture becomes a method for students to transform the results of their observations into creative forms and principles of nature so that the role of students is not merely to imitate or receive information, but to act as a creation of meaning and understanding. Subjects such as Citizenship Education, Social Sciences, Natural Science, Cultural Arts and Skills are considered to contribute to multicultural learning, but mathematics subjects can also contribute. The research aimed to find out how the use of multicultural learning in mathematical learning, on flat building materials, affected students' racism and social attitudes. This is a qualitative descriptive study that uses the interview method to gather data. The results will be qualitatively analyzed. Interviews were conducted to find out how multiculturalism is integrated into learning, how knowledge construction is built through cultural influences, how prejudice reduction occurs, how equality pedagogy is implemented, how the empowerment of school culture occurs in the learning process, and how it impacts in tackling racism and social attitudes of students after using such learning.

Abstract

Mathematics has always been a major part of school curricula in most countries. It provides a variety of useful tools that help students to solve problems that they encounter in everyday life. Mathematical tools are considered powerful, as long as one knows how to employ them across a range of suitable situations. However, selecting and using these tools appropriately appear to be challenging for many students. Because of this, word problems have been included in mathematics education to offer practice for students in applying mathematical skills effectively in various problem situations confronted in everyday circumstances. In addition, there is limited research about how learners in the foundation phase (Grades 1-3) solve addition and subtraction word problems. A relatively recent review of South African studies on mathematics education has revealed a paucity of research at the primary school level. This study therefore seeks to explore grade 2 learners’ experiences in solving addition and subtraction word problems. A qualitative research was conducted to describe grade 2 learners experience whilst solving addition and subtraction problems. Only 6 learners in grade 2 were selected to participate in this study. Learners demonstrated a strong preference for paper and pencil methods as well as the standard algorithm, when solving problems in word format. However, little evidence exists within the study that any of the learners conceptually understood the algorithm. The use of base 10 blocks to model the partial sums and partial differences algorithms would help most of the learners to develop a conceptual understanding of addition and subtraction of word problems in mathematics.

Abstract

Self-discipline is the ability of individuals to control themselves and act in accordance with the values they believe in. This study aims to determine the difference in the level of self-discipline between students in general elementary schools and religious-based elementary schools. This research is a comparative research with quantitative approach. The population in this study were 6th grade elementary and MI students in Jombang Regency. The sampling technique used purposive random sampling with a sample size of 100 students, where 50 students came from general elementary schools or SDN and 50 students came from religious-based elementary schools or MI. The technique used to collect data is a questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using the t-test. The results obtained through descriptive analysis show that the average self-discipline character of religious-based elementary school students is higher than the average self-discipline character of general elementary school students. Before hypothesis testing, normality and homogeneity tests were conducted to ensure that the data were normal and homogeneous. The results of data hypothesis testing using t-test obtained Sig (2-tailed) value α (0.045 0.05). These results indicate that there is a significant difference in the level of self-discipline between the two groups of students.
